yo this one’s deep
you gotta think about
what im sayin right now
cause it’s true.
(chorus)
what you want from me
(what you want from me)
what you want from me
(what you want from me)
what you want from me
(what you want from me)
what you want from me
(what you want from me)
day 1 when i first looked at you
i didn’t know who you were
i thought i’d seen you before
but then you walked out the door
i didn’t know what to say
you went out on your way
but i knew, that i’d see you another day
i’ve seen many ups and downs
seen smiles and frowns
travel from town to town
but it’s the same all around
so much corruption and crime
in all these streets all the time
we try to make our lines flow
but we’re no good with the rhymes.
here you are again
i remember when i saw you back then
i think i was about 10
but now that i’ve gotten older
i’ve also gotten much bolder
because the world’s gotten colder
there’s no more weight on my shoulders
i want all of you to know
that this life is like a show
we can watch and follow
be like everyone you know
but is that reality
don’t believe everything you see
once the channel’s been set
then what you see is what you get.
(chorus)
let me ask you something
what do you see that’s true
cause everything around here
is just so black and blue
there’s no sun, only rain
everyday’s full a pain
there’s just no way to maintain
there’s only you that’s to blame
some people like to talk to you
but what they say is never true
some people always ask for help
but when you need it the most
you gotta do it by yourself
why you lookin at me
there’s no way outta this place
you betta walk the other way
before i hit you in the face.
now’s the time to confront you
i didn’t know what you would do
is what i’m seein really you
am i so high i’m seein two
cause when i turned in your direction
i looked up what did i see
i can’t believe it, it’s a reflection of me.
no more fears, no more cryin
no more tears, no more lyin
you used to see right through me
find my weakness and lose me
but now i’ve become one with myself.
(chorus)
